MADRID (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid will rely on leading striker Antoine Griezmann as they bid to finish off Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League on Wednesday and reach the quarter-finals for the fourth season in a row. Frenchman Griezmann has six goals in his last seven games, with his 84th minute strike helping the Rojiblancos to a 1-0 win at Granada on Saturday. "I am always asked the same question and I am pretty sick of it, but like I always say, I am very happy here," the 25-year-old striker told TVE. With Griezmann focussed and firing after a spell between November and December in which he only found the net once in eight games, Atletico look a formidable prospect again. New Leverkusen coach Tayfun Korkut, appointed in place of Roger Schmidt last week, insists his team will not lose the second leg.
